I'm a great fan of this and am eagerly awaiting the pending new series (first episode due to air on Friday).
I normally despise 'family sitcoms' but have enjoyed this immensely.
I find it to be a far more believable and original than anything else similar.
Of course it is dramatised and comedic elements are emphasised so I accept that it's not *that* realistic but I love it nevertheless. The fact that the kids' roles are partially improvised is a genius move IMO and I can see how the mechanics of this contribute to the realism and sponteneity.
Love it - posted a thing the other day saying that the new series was starting (only problem with really looking forward to something is that it might be crap). MarkRae posted saying he had managed to see it and it good though, so fingers crossed.
I love it .
The little girl ...Karen is brilliant . I nearly fell off the settee with laughter when they were trying to sell the house and the pigeon got in the kitchen .
"It's an omen ".
Hilarious .
I liked the one where she said her friends Mum was a lesbian . It turned out she was Lebanese :) Hahaaa.
She cracks me up .I bet she grows up to be a really good actress .
Ah yes - the 'chav spotting from the open top bus' episode !
I bet all three of them do - they're brilliant.
I love the one where Sue's sister brings her boyfriend "Brick" over and Ben goes "Brick ? as in ...the thing ?" then later in the restaurant when Pete explodes at Brick after the umpteenth time of accusing him of sounding like Hugh Grant and he tells him "I'M GOING TO STICK YOUR PLATINUM VISA CARD RIGHT UP YOUR A...." the whole scene and the way Ben giggles is priceless.
I saw a trailer earlier and Pete tells her to go to bed and she holds her palm outwards and it's got NO written on it .
She's so deadpan .
Anyway I must go to bed .Nite AP and enjoy Outnumbered .
